In the land of the blind the man with one eye is King .IF there is fuel rationing lads wont travel to pick ups .Free Now will try scalp passengers with booking charge but UBER will incentivise drivers with bonuses .That is simple business .Unforeseen unforeseens might fuck everything up .Hands out to hail a taxi will be the way forward if we get Fuel rationing .Even if it reaches 170 a dribble do you think lads will travel 3 or 4 Km for a pickup ?

Ya still dont get it johnny .. I didnt join the co op to make money ... I doubt any other driver is any different

So does this app take the fare from the passengers account or do you take cash or card payment?

No in app payments as yet,but plans in train, I believe. All drivers, as you know, are obliged to have a c card facility, and many, like mise have the Revolut app.

So Big Dommo has Sharon Begley over for Dinner and she has 16 double vodkas and wants a taxi home from the flats to her gaff .Big Dommo being a Gent says let me get a taxi for you and there is no way for him to pay the fare on his booking even though being a gent he wants to pay sharons fare ..Now If I am a Corporate Client who wants to set up an account for my Staff and the fare to be deducted from my business account I cannot do that ?

  I wonder are they actually licenced by the Central Bank to hold Personal Financial details or act as an Intermeditary .?

I wouldn't be taking her unaccompanied, after she's had 16 double vodkas.

Robbie you are looking at this ALL WRONG .Big Dommo and Billy the Bastard and The One We dont mention went to the IDA for a Grant .They took an existing product a Whore .Sent her to a Plastic Surgeon got a pair of Tits built on to her back .Their Business Proposal was the one Whore could now increase business activity by 100% operating both sides and the Anal would cost 5% more to off set the cost of surgery .A brilliant piece of Economic increase utalising existing resources to drive Profitability .Great Idea on Paper but nobody wanted it .

Thats the Difficulty with Business you need to identify your market .With a taxi app it is Passengers .They want door to door transport .Nowthey have than Street Hail or App hail or dial up hail .So this new app is not offering them anything they do not already have .So what is its selling Point ?

This is successfully being sold by its developers to its market Taxi DRIVERS .that is not the same as taxi CUSTOMERS .I have already told you for this to be a Stand alone App the sums are 17 jobs per driver per shift .17x1250=that is 21.250 jobs per day or 148.750 per week or 7 million 735 thousand per year .Those are the figures for a fleet of1250 Drivers Nationally .Does that seem realistic ?

The answer is No it cannot compete with others offering bonus payments to drivers and discounts to passengers because there is no stand alone taxi App .UBER is not a Taxi app it is a Data harvesting app .Taxi services was a decoy to put tracking devices in customer phones access their data so they can sell on that data for profit to advertisers .Google Maps do the same its live on your taxi app in your pocket tracking you .Spotify does the same .This App cannot and willl not work because it is selling a service already saturated and has no alternative revenue stream as they do not own the App or store the Data themselves .

You are buying a share in delusion like the fella buying a share in a Piedball  gelded pony you wont win the race and you have no Stallion Possibilities .If you are going to invest in business at least understand Business .

  I was surprised at the Clontarf Cavalier who understands Crypto Currencies and Crypto wallets getting involved .All the real Taxi Apps are Data harvesters nothing to do with taxi hailing .They could give the service away for nothing .This New Venture has no Cost variables to work with no other stream of income .Uber built out their own Dynamic Mapping and Pricing based on tracking you showing them the routes .By offering fixed fares they accustom the users of their Driverless Product to how their cost structure will operate when you hail a driverless vehicle .

  I knew an old Millionaire you would not think this lad could afford to eat .He built the little housing Estate on Bluebell Avenue and Bought the old cottage where the new housing estate is across from the Circle K on the Canal Bridge in Clondalkin .I remember sitting in his kitchen and he gave me advice I chose to ignore .He said " John you are a very clever man but an idiot ,you spend all your time fighting and winning some battles but you never focus on the War " So think about that .What do drivers want ? They want to be paid for all the Work they do and paid the right price as in the Metered fare .So to do that they should be looking at removing the Apps not adding to them .Keep your eye on the Target not the days battle .

If I get 13 jobs per week from it, it is as profitable as the 10% Bolt are charging me. If I get to 62 jobs per week/14-15 jobs per day from it, I can dispense with all other apps, and the commission would be down to 2%.

Robbie I hope it works but I dont think it will .Remember WE GAVE tens of MILLIONS in NO PUC to HAILO to build their Brand and UBER put Millions in Free Trips and Sign up BoBo and on going Bobo to drivers .Even with all that Purse they still could not establish dominance .

Have they done any marketing and advertising yet?

[Bob Shillin]

Yes, a couple of radio stations, and ads on rear of buses.

I've seen the logo on a few taxis.  Looks smart, esp on clean vehicles    Defo doesn't look like a start-up anyways.  Looks better than Freenow _{powered by Lyft} or whatever it is...

Well Old Dommminikk he were sitting watching the canal flow near the flats beside the chipper and the Bookies beside the Church the bells they were a ringing .He drew on his Spliff and said .I was a reading Uncle Toms Cabin last night and I suddenly realized .The North did not want to Free the Slaves ."Whay so I asked as I sipped on the long bulbus neck of a 1.5 liter of Lidil Cider .See "he said .The Deep south was agricultural grew Cotton and Crops Labour intensive work back breaking work .Plantations kept their Mandingo for breeding their Slaves bought from good Christian Men of Faith .No what was Occuring in the North was it was becoming Industrialized ,Railways ,Mining ,Factories and the Big Industrialists Like Carnagie an Rockafella needed cheap labour so they decided to rob the Southren Blackman .Tell him he was free then offer him Factory Work at 25c an hour .Rob one mans worker from that man then offer his worker work for less or the same money and tell him he a Free Man .I sat quietly and started to sing .

Why do driver-run apps think the passenger gives a fuk what the driver is paid?

[Rat Catcher]

The cost of tech has actually increased assuming the apps are based on Google APIs. When Hail0 launched all the Google stuff was free. Now they charge fractions of cents for each places search or directions request once you exceed a reasonable free usage tier. Hence the introduction of technology fees, I guess ... although €1 far exceeds what would really be charged by Google The thing is you can't pin down how many times a client might search for an address, bearing in mind that every letter typed potentially counts as a search and every wrong turn a driver takes counts as a new directions request.... even so, it'd be nowhere near €1/job at any tier.
